Scottish Children - Enjoy The Body Coach Workout

Calling all Scottish children - join The Body Coach workout with Joe Wicks!

In this age of technology it can sometimes to be hard to get our kids moving and getting them to step away from screens of various sizes! However we have one idea for Scottish children - enjoy The Body Coach workout!

Joe Wicks aka The Body Coach is hosting a week of workouts for children from Monday the 12th of March at 10.00am. This workout is ideally designed for school children to enjoy 20 minutes of active fun. However anyone of any age can join in. So on your school drop off - why not mention it to the teacher! If you are a teacher, you could incorporate this into your weekly plan. Or if you have little ones at home, you could also give it a try together! The more the merrier!!

Joe Wicks states on The Body Coach Facebook page:

"From all of my achievements in the past couple of years my Schools Fitness Week has meant the most to me. We had tens of thousands of children all over the world exercising together live on my YouTube channel and I'm bussing to do it all again next week."

This workout can be accessed by The Body Coach Facebook page here. However, our schools do not normally have access to Facebook, so there will also be a live feed on YouTube which you can access here.

The Scottish Government already encourages our children to be more active at school with the implementation of the Daily Mile. NHS Scotland also advises that children aged between 5 and 18 years of age should partake in 60 minutes of physical activity per day. Toddlers should enjoy 180 minutes of physical activity spread throughout the day.
